Ly UI

Due to receiving quite a few requests, I have decided to release my UI to the public. If you know what you're doing, there is no need to read this. If not, read below for instructions on how to install.

This UI is configured for 1920x1080. If you're using a different resolution, there is a chance you will have to move things around yourself.

I did not create and do not take credit for the creation of ANY of the addons used in this user interface. They were all downloaded through curse.com or through the curse program and I want to personally thank the authors for creating the addons that make my own experience in WoW that much more enjoyable.

This UI was created after spending countless (too many) hours searching the UI thread on MMO-Champion. After liking aspects of certain screenshots, I decided to use what I liked best from them and input them into my own UI. So while I did create this UI from scratch, I was heavily inspired by some of the wonderful UI designers over at MMO-Champion and the HowToPriest forums. I just wanna say thanks to anyone who helped inspire me in creating this interface.

Now this UI was created specifically for my Demo Warlock, but it also contains Weak Aura strings for my Fire Mage, Shadow Priest, Assassination Rogue, and my Level 50 Survival/Beast Mastery Hunter. If you play one of these characters, you should have no problems using this UI, but if you are playing one of my lower level characters, you may need to add some Weak Aura strings in order to track everything properly.

Please note that the WA strings for my Hunter are placeholders. Replace them with spells that are actually important to track.

These are addons that I use, but are not required for the UI to function properly.

If you would like to use these addons, simply download and install them separately.

INSTALLATION

1. Backup your Fonts, WTF and Interface folders in your World of Warcraft directory (by default it's C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft)
2. Delete the WTF folder from \World of Warcraft\ and copy the WTF folder from this package to that folder.

a. Rename the "ACCOUNT #" folder to the numbered folder you see in your WTF backup directory.
b. Rename the "REALM NAME" folder to the name of your Realm.
c. Rename the "TOON NAME" folder to the name of your Toon.

3. Copy the contents of the Interface folder in this package to the World of Warcraft\Interface folder.
4. Copy the Fonts folder from this package to the main World of Warcraft folder.
5. Copy the Icons folder from this package to the World of Warcraft\Interface folder.

At this time, if you're using the Curse Application (You can download it from Curse.com if you aren't), I would suggest launching it and making sure you're using the most updated version of each AddOn.

5. Launch World of Warcraft, login, and on the character selection screen, click 'Addons' in the bottom left corner, make sure "Load outdated addons" is checked and then check all the addons.

6. Type /reflux switch lydude (case sensitive). WoW should now reload and when it finishes the UI should be working properly.

The UI *SHOULD* now be running properly. Like I said earlier, if you're using a resolution other than 1920x1080, there is a chance you may have to reconfigure the UI yourself. There are two addons that you will have to go into the options and manually change the profile to lydude. Follow the below instructions if you are unsure of what exactly you need to do.

If Gnosis is not aligned correctly, type /gnosis. Now click the button that says "Create Options..." then go to the Configuration menu under Gnosis, select the "lydude" profile and the four tabs that say "Load xxx..."

If VuhDo is not configured properly, type /vuhdo opt and go to the Tools tab. From there, select the "lydude" profile and click Apply. If you get a dialog asking you to Copy, Overwrite or Discard, just click Overwrite.

If there are other addons that do not seem to be configured properly, simply open the Interface > Addons tab and navigate to the addon that isn't working properly. Go to the Profiles section and load the lydude profile. It should be working fine now.

I'll give it a shot since I'll be releasing an update this weekend to fix the weak auras bug.

what weak aura's bug?

There's currently a problem with weak auras causing the glyphs yo stop function along with the ability to abandon quests and turn in quests. It also seems to affect mouse over effects in certain dialogs like the character frame.

I'll be trying to fix it Sunday night when I get get home.

If you manage to get that fix working, is there any chance of it being standalone or at least giving us some information on what you did, so offering the rest of us an option.

Well, I deleted a lot of Weak Aura strings that weren't being used and it looks like that did the trick. I am now not having any issues with glyphs, quests, or the dungeon journal.

I'm going to compile a new release and upload it in a few minutes and it should solve any problems. It's my mistake for compiling the suite with so many Weak Aura strings that weren't being used and I apologize for that.

I'll give it a shot since I'll be releasing an update this weekend to fix the weak auras bug.

I second this request, since I have been seeing similar problems with glyphs.
Leatrix Plus at one point included a fix for some glyph related issues, where any addon that used the Blizzard Addon options tab was capable of tainting the talent UI, but that fix was removed as encouragement for blizzard to fix it.
Not that it would do anything of the sort, since I personally believe that bug or a similar one has been present through most of the previous expansion also.

I'm in love with this UI, but i have a issue with it, i cannot deliver quests, i cannot abandon quests, i cannot change glyphs, i cannot select quest revards, whats causing this?

I am working on fixing this. I have a feeling it might be DBM as that is one of the only new addons I'm using since Version 1.0.

Try updating DBM from the DBM website, or even unloading it and seeing if that resolves the issue.

So my girlfriend wanted this UI, which I made my own changes too. But I might have figured your issue out. I will let you know.

if you can let me know,
also Kkthxbye, i still use your ui on my hunter / mage but i had to switch when i saw this its really nice work.
one question,
the carkbags_n addon you have in your compilation, any chance at all you could package it as a separate addon as the bag addon in this compilation is its only downfall

You don't like Ark inventory? I tried other bag add ons but I like how Ark separates everything. If you have any suggestions though let me know. This UI will will be ever evolving

my suggestion is the bag addon Kkthx uses in his compilation, Carkbags_nivarna something like that.
its imba. but not updated.

Kkthx and real have patched it so i stole kkthx from his package (as i still use his interface on a couple of my chars)
much better bag addon
